Derby Predictions

[Christiffa25]

Well tbf I don't think we can play any worse than the last two games.

I'm sure the boss...Ross will be back in the starting 11 after lighting up the international stage, which can only be a plus!

Being honest, I'm really worried about this one...

 

[Furey1878]

It won't be a draw.

I'm assured of this.

 

[TheFinnFan]

1-0 for Royal Blues.

Bring it on!

dreading this already

you say Liverpool look good but im not keen on them i think there over rated sturidge is scoring goals but he misses more than he takes Suarez is a top player but hes a complete knob he isn't world class because he's got no class a racist diving biting knob head coutiniho cant see him doing his thing for much longer now people know about him much like mirralas tbh there midfeild Henderson decent enough player but hes not all that Gerrard prefer lampard tbh Lucas kicks people there defence is made up of overated players Johnson is ok on his day agger is decent scream is a bit **** but Enrique is quite good i like him think he would be a decent Baines replacement
still cant see us winning like

Jesus.

Start Barkley for Osman, immediately improves the midfield and makes it as physical as we can put on the field. Consider Deulofeu......they will try to kick the **** out of him and it may cost them subject to the ref not being paid for already.

The movement of Sturridge and the Ratface may be too much for our defence so we have to stop the thru balls at source. Our midfield will win or lose this match for us. Just hope Lukaka gets service and Mirallas is on the ball or it could be a long afternoon

Although Mirallas hasn't been on form last season he tore them a new one on the left wing. That is where he does most damage. There was a flash of this yesterday. The build up to the Osman chance and the cut inside and shot. If pienaar is to be dropped I'd bring Naismith in, on merit of goals against big teams and hardworking. Which we will need. Deulofeu hasn't impressed me at all. We need battlers in the derby.

Can only see us getting a tonking after yesterdays performance. Maybe I will feel better closer to the match. Never have I wanted an international break so much.

 

[Ihaters]

Two teams who's game plan I genuinely think we play right into the hands of, are these and Southampton. Other than that I think we have a chance against anyone, sadly this one seems more likely to be a tonking than anything else.

 

[FTY]

Is there an International Break??

 

[tim cahill]

Think it'll be a very tight game. Both sides are evenly matched really but they probably are more dangerous going forward. I reckon the game will be won or lost in midfield and so the team selection will be crucial. Barkley could make the difference for us if he starts. A lot of pressure on Martinez for this one, but I think he'll give us more than moyes did in the derby.

I'll go for a 2-1 win if Barkley starts, 2-1 loss if he doesn't...

 

[jaybx1878]

We'll probably be the better side but lose in a match marred by controversy.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

1:3

And agree with the above post.

Early goal for them, probably Suarez, then a tight game until half time, 0:1, then we'll come out better and equalise, before having a player sent off and Suarez going on to grab another couple.

 

[MickM86]

We have to watch the counter attack on ourselves. Can't give any of them half a yard.
